Question 1
E) If a person is injured by an employee acting in the course of the job, that person must
sue the employer, not the employee.
Question 2
B) The damages that are payable to the employee are calculated on the basis of what the
employee would have received had he been given reasonable notice whether he gets another job
or not.
Question 3
The case filed by the employee will be dismissed. According to Friedman (2019), in the
21st century employers still have the right to hire and fire, and set wages provided they do it
within the law. Further, the employer has the right to promote or demote. Given that the
employer’s business is facing an economic slowdown, it is reasonable to recommend for a pay
cut and restructure the organization. Therefore, the court is likely to dismiss the case filed by the
employee against the employer. This is because the employee does not have a strong case against
the employer.
Question 4
Logically, Koff is not entitled to any compensation because the employer had a cause for
dismissal. The employer is only liable, if he/she does not have a cause for dismissal. Given that
the employer was justified to fire Koff, the court will not order him to compensate Koff. In
essence, Koff is not entitled to any damages since the employer had a justifiable ground for
dismissing him.
